The
only
MAN bus in SBS fleet was commissioned in 1990, and was registered as SBS81S. The
model is simply called 16.240, where 16 refers to the gross vehicle weight in
tonnes
while 240 refers to the maximum output of the engine in bhp. This bus was
assembled by Soon Chow, a local bus body builder. The same bodywork is also used
on buses of the same model in the fleet of Singapore-Johor Express
(SJE). That is why SBS81S gives some regular
commuters of SJE a sense of deja
vu. Presently this bus is used as a
training bus.
